Week 13 (4/18) Social Networking for Library Professionals and Patrons

No in-person meeting. Instead, your mission: find yourself online!

Instructions:
  • Use the resources listed below to do a comprehensive search for yourself online. What do you learn about yourself? How do you plan to respond?
  • Based on this experience, consider your project group's library patrons. How might you advise these patrons to control their online presence?
  • Write your response in the discussion tab of week 13.
  • COMMON SENSE CAUTION: Don't give detail or links about information you'd like to get rid of that you discover in your search. Wikispaces is a public online space, too!
